Chronicle

[Handleit_44]

There are so many tired films about superheroes these days it makes you wonder if a supervillain is running the movie studios. Every so often, however, one film seems to break the mold and make the genre feel fresh again. Could the coming movie “Chronicle” be another game-changer? We sure hope so. Directed by Joshua Trank, it stars Dane DeHaan, Alex Russell, Michael Kelly and Michael B. Jordan, who has been promising on TV shows like “Parenthood” and “Friday Night Lights.” The film, about three high school students who develop special powers, seems to unspool its story faux-documentary “Cloverfield” style, giving a comic book-ish tale a kind of newsy reality. Watch the trailer.

Looks fantastic. I also love how they have the actor from FNL in it. Overall very excited for this.

This has 81% on RT, has anyone seen it?

[Palooza]

I'm interested. I'm sick of the found footage gimmick, but I've heard they put it to good use in this.

Plus Vince "Wallace" Howard is in it, so I'll definitely see it. It just depends on whether or not I'm willing to spend money on it.

So that's who we was I thought I knew him from something.

[G-men]

Vince Howard!

Definitely gonna see this.

[Th3ChosenOne]

It's terrible.

[St. Francisco]

I didn't think it was great...worthy of a rent. Not a bad movie, but nothing I would watch a second time.

[CCBrink]

I thought it was pretty good. Some of the effects could have been a little better.

[G-men]

I saw it. It was meh. I didn't really like the ending too much.

I agree with a few things said in the thread, sick of the found footage craze, and didnt care for the ending. Overall, movie was just, meh. Felt very Cloverfield in the first 15-20 mins where the movie moves very slowly, but helps develop the story. The special effects were pretty good, even on a small budget. Wished there was more back story about how they got their powers.

I don't know if it'd be obvious to those who have seen it, but they're making a sequel.
